>From a recent post sent by M. Pugliese:
"1.5 million killed during the Soviet-Afghan War from '79 -'89 according
to Ahmed Rashid in his
book on the Taliban. Larry Goodson in, 'Afghanistan's Endless War, ' says
nearly 2 million. Plus the
Soviets laid down nearly 30 million landmines, unmarked and unmapped."
